1. Neither bracket or tubing broke. The bracket only bent. It broke at all the welds

2. At the break, all the weld went with the tubing

3. Tubing didn't bend.

I'll check out that marine epoxy. Is it brittle like JB weld? I've found that with JB weld it's strong but the material doesn't have a lot of "stretchability" before it just breaks.
